gabita

Hello I was banded April 4 2015. Down 28 pounds. I'm getting closer to the max fills that my band can take and Ito has been a struggle. The highest weight loss I had was when the fill was too much and I was missable for 3 days and unable to eat or drink. They remove that fill and I kept what I lost for a month. Later in I got a tiny fill it was good for a few days but lately I feel it tighter and can't experiment with anything as I get stuck constantly On Monday I'm getting littl fluid out Night time are the worst if I eat at night then I can't sleep as I get up to vomit or saliva coming out for my nose ( sorry about the tmi) but I need to speak with someone that can understand me. I don't feel I'm eating healthy. When I was heavier I think I ate better. Please help

Hello all i am hving a hard tone getting to the green zone i am going to have to get tiny fills to avoid being uncomfortable. Any auggestions ? At night when i eat a littlr bowl of plain chlli for instance i go to bed after 2 hrs of esting then the whole ight im getting up to vomit. Very hard to aleep maybe is too tight?

To make you all feel better mine was on April. 1rst fill .5 started on May then none until July another .5 then starting in August I've been getting .5 biweekly I'm just feeling the diff where I have just lost additional 4 pounds. I do work out consistently This last was only .3 I was the lowest weight for wls. Dr was being very careful with me. Keep it up. Choose right choose protein first eat green leafy veggies and sweet potatoe who is my fav carb choice

I'm 4 months post op and I just started getting fill little by lil. My band is the smallest one so I'm getting 0.5 cc every 2 weeks now. I have a total of 1.5 fill. I'm doing this very slow

My surgery is April 6 in excited and nervous at the same time. I was told that gas x strips is a no no. I should walk walk walk.

Hi mayab1234. I hear you. Same hear I got a fill of 0.5 I haven't lost as ,ugh as you but it's very slow. I'll be ok with my 2nd fill

Hello how is everybody doing. I got my first fill 0.5 cc only and makes the diff total loss 8 but let's see how this goes

It'll be a month for me tomorrow and I have o ly lost 5 pounds. They won't do a fill until I heal not sure when. So frustrated

New banded !! Any support groups around Las Vegas? I'm 4 days banded and I feel great

Thank you I will keep doing what I'm doing and have patience. I'm sure I'll feel a difference when I get a fill

How is everyone doing I'm a lil down I have no fill yet my wl is very slow. I feel smaller but my scale doesn't show it.

Ima glad all went well. I lost 5 pounds which I was a lil surprise comparing to what others loose but I have no restriction yet. They said is slow at the beginning until I get a fill. Minday I start with solids. For yiur soups you can add u flavored whey protein make sure you disolve it first in water before putting into the soup

Hello thank you yes I am recuperating well almost done with liquids I lost 5 pounds which is good considering I still have no restriction in my band yet. Congratulations on your desicion us going to be great the easy part is the surgery the eating part is the challenging but so worthy Kwcrnp how are you hope all well

4 days banded and excited

Hi I'm sure all will go fantastic I've been walking sipping sipping and walking and really helps. I'm thankful I had no issues today I have some kefir with scoop of protein and a prot shake wit coconut milk and I added some blueberries. I added some vitamins took me all day to finish it Jello is heaven and a warm decaf tea is a like Valium inside your stomach . But honestly I am hungry but I think is mental. Tomorrow my shake I'll add some spinach and will blend it all Are you on the preop diet? I have a low bmi so I didn't need to do it Keep me posted. Best wishes

A follow up. I had my surgery yesterday I'm impressed for the great nurses that took care of me. Auper sweet and nice. I'm battling with this gas pain but I'm walking around the house. So far no need of pain medication. I've been sipping and walking Sleeping on my side helps too. I gotta to admit that I'm a lil hungry so I've having a. Oh yeah shake. But I'm mostly with water

Thank you I'm am excited

Thank you . How did you do? When did you get your surgery. Would you like to share?

Thank you I just purchased it. My surgery is April 6. I scar keloid also

I was told no gas x. I'll be banded this monday

My surgery is April 6 the insuranxe will not cover it so I'll pay for it. There is an insurance drs office are offering to cover complications during surgery? Any feed back? Should I or shouldn't I purchase it?
